1t is best for the people OF Yankton to
be informed that scarlet fever has again
broken out and that there now ten cases
in the. CITY. 1t appears that this Is q
result OF Encouragement and that there
is no good excuse for it. We are quot
ing the words of citizens who nave
spoken upon the subject to-day, One
/ OF them went 80 far as to remark that 1t
might yet take a vigilance committee to
stamp out the disease, but he was
excited.
In the supreme court to-day the case
of Biddena Elliott, respondent, vs. the

argued. The former is from Clay county
and is represented by W. 81. Lyon for
respondent and R. B. Trip and 81. Fl.
Field for appellant. The latter is from
K%lngsbury county and is represented by
| Watson & Hall for respondent and

Messrs. Keepers & Riddell, represent
ing the Milwaukee bridge and iron com
pany, were the successful bidders for
the contract for the iron bridge across
Jim river at GAINESVILLE. There were ten
bids in the lot and the successful parties
took the contract for $4,749. But one
of the bids-thas of j. Fl. Campbell
was from Yankton and his figures were
81 800. This will be the first iron bridge
in Yankton county and the first one, We
believe, to cross Jim river anywhere in
Dakota.
